Fresh Tea Brewing

ObamaCare Fight in Congress Re-Energizes the Tea Party Movement

In lieu of the recent ongoing debates in Congress focusing on the funding or defunding of ObamaCare, it looks like a fresh cup of Tea began brewing and the glasses are ready to pour up.

The Tea Party began it's rise around the early years of Obama's presidency and the initial talks of the Affordable Healthcare Act AKA ObamaCare.

With the constant feuding in Congress it looks like the Tea Party is brewing again after the pot seemed to have run empty for a while. 

While the Tea Party has no specific political affiliation and are known more or less as partly conservative, partly libertarian and partly populist sponsoring protests and supporting political candidates since 2009. 

As we know the Republican heavy House of Representatives passed a bill to defund the ObamaCare program which was shot down by the Senate prompting a potential Government Shutdown.

With the rise of the Tea Party again, it looks like there could be a huge impact on politics and future presidential elections. 

Primarily known for advocating a reduction in the U.S. National Debt and Federal Budget Deficit by reducing government spending and taxes, the rising conflict between Congress definitely has its impact on both the Democratic and Republican parties. It is definitely evident that the Tea Party is in support of defunding the ObamaCare plan so the ultimate question lies:

Is the rise of the Tea Party a LOW BLOW to the Democratic party or could it be a KNOCK OUT?

The Tea Party, while it fosters its own supporters had it's negative impact on the Republican Party as well especially with much of negative publicity they got during the last election campaign and of course weigh there impact on the Democratic Party. It might be interesting to see how this continues as we approach the next presidential election.
